Letterbook, LB-055

This letterbook covers the period December 1891-March 1892, Most of
the letters are by Alfred O. Tate. There is also correspondence by Edison and
Thomas Maguire. Many of the letters relate to the manufacture and marketing
of phonographs and cylinder recordings and to legal and financial dealings
among the various phonograph companies. There are several letters pertaining
to Edison’s loan of $3,500 to the Automatic Phonograph Exhibition Co. Other
documents deal with mining and ore milling, electric light and power, and the
kinetograph. Included also are letters about position openings at the West
Orange laboratory and about the collection and storage of material at the
Menlo Park laboratory. There are numerous letters, many addressed to
Edison’s attorney, Sherburne B. Eaton, regarding patent infringements and
other patent matters. Beginning on page 89 is a three-page description of
Edison’s inventions for 1891, Beginning on page 189 is a five-page list of
requirements for an electric railroad motor. The spine is stamped "Letters"
and is labeled "From Dec. 31, 1891. To Mar. 9, 1892." The book contains 698
numbered pages and an index. Approximately 20 percent of the book has
been filmed. Related documents for this time period can be found in LB-051
and LB-053.

Electrie Railwa Ye

New system fop electric railways which will do away with the

trolley wire; especially adapted for large cities vwiere overkead
wires are prohibited. :

It has hitherto peen considered impossible to Supply a streot
car, propelled electrically, with current from the rails, for tyo
reasons: lst, because the nud and water would be liable to produce
& heavy electrical iogss by leakage; and secondly, because of tha
adiffieulty in delivering a large volume of current to the car
through the md and Slush with which the rails might be covered.

The Lirst difficulty mentioned above Mr. Edison has overcome
by anploying a electrical pressure sufficiently low to be without

danger of frightening horses and without appreciable come reial
Joss or leakage.

Special apparatus of a Simple nature has enabled him to supply
in practical trial any desired quantity of current to a car unisex
the worst conditions of Streete By these means it is possible,
and las been experimentally proved practical, to supply a car
with a motive power indepeadently of any trolley wire.

HIGH SPEED ELECTRIC SYSTEM FOR SHAM RAILROADS.
ta nena eee aE 9,

The difficulties in the way of electrical propulsion for
steam railroads Mr. Edison has considered to be mostly of detail
amd not of principlee In connection with his experiments in this
line he had constructed a Short length of track, upon which he
demonstrated it to be possible to supply a moving train with the
necessary amount of electrical energy for its propulsione

High Voit Lamp.

This lamp effects « Saving of over fifty per eant in copper.
It has been found up to the present time impracticable to manufac-
ture an olectric lamp overated on @ higher preasure than a little
over 100 volts. Doubling the pressure on such lanps is capable
of reducing the total yuantity of copper in a conducting system
of supply by 75% theoretically, and perhaps 70% practicallys
Guided by the importance of this desired end Mre Edison found a
means of making a lamp capable of Giving the present standard of
illumination under ali. the usual conditionsy but. working at 200
volts, or nearly twice the present pressure, and this lamp will-Ue
tO believe.’scon be available for general use.

ELECTRIC LIGHT METERS.

Theao ara Lor registering accurately the consumpt ion of
alestric gurrent.

In connection with electric lamps Mr. Edison has beon seeking
for a form of clectric meter vhich would be as effective as ‘those
heretofore used, but whieh would be cheaper and wore accurate, thus
vondaring it capable of mgre universal adoption. These features
ob bude evos are onbodied in his nev series of electric light
MatArse

IMPROVED ALTERNATING SYSTEM OF ELECTRIG LIGHTING»

The alternating current system which Mr. Edison has worked
ont embodies a high, degree of efficienoy with mechanical conven-
ience but does not essentially aiter in principle from other
oxisting similar systems. :

New Phonograph:

This phonograph is a-great improvement on tha olde form of
instrument, and tivre are many new features anhodied in it which
the earlier machines did fot possesse The now phonograph is more
simple of operation, and its caracity (about 1500 words) is treble
that of the old machina. A mailing cylinder, especially adapted
to correspondence, has heen provided for use in conne ection with
the new phonograph; this mailing cylinder is small, light in weight
ard d@xrable ama will hold 600 verds; it can be placed in a box a/c
of an inch in diameter ad can be sent through the mils at-a cost
of two cents, and with perfect safety. The @iaphragm used on the
new style of machine is of the most sensitive character, and a
whisper recorded on the eylinder can be reproduced with the fvcue
est distinctness.

In the new phonograph are onhodiad ali the improvements that
have bedn sugeested or thought of sino the indtrument was first
introduced to the public.

Your letter of lst instant adiressed to Mre Edison,

in regard to the phonograph, has beon receivede The latoat form

of instrument has only one diaphragin, connected to which ars the

recording md reproducing needles, cither of which ean be brought

into play by a sinple adjustment. Theret'ore the sound is recorded

snd reproduced through the same orifice.

The faet that the orifice corneeted to the diaphragm is

smaller in diameter than the diaphragm itself does not in any way

affect the quality of the sound reproduction, for the roason that.

the sound vibrations are ‘confined mainly to the centre of the dia-~

pavagm, immediately over which the orifice is placed. Therefore

any distortion which you my have noticed must have been dic en-—

tively to other causes - possibly. bad adjustment of the instrument

in either the recoriing or reproduction of the ‘records The reason

for combining in one diaphragm the functions of the two previously

used was to simplify the operation of tho phonopraph.

My, Edison raceives qa great many communications in regard to

We He He ~ Re Jan» 20, 1892,

the phonograph and he appreciates highly the interest which tho
public is taking in his invention. The various mechanical details
embodied in the present type of phonogya pli are the result of
extensive experimentation and nothing has been omitted which would
be likely to improve the instrument. I am distating this reply

Regarding the claims that were originally embodied in

suggesting an adaption of the phonogyvaph Lor use at sea, Waa duly

ed a patent on the 29th of December last on a system for trans~
mitting sitmals electrically between distant points, by induction,

that is susrested in your letter. Mr, Edison discovered that if
sufficient elevation were obtained to overvome the curvature of
the sarth's surface and to vedyee to the mininum the earth's
absorption electric telographing or signaling betwaen distant
points could Ye divied on by induetion without the use of wires:

Letterbook, LB-056

This letterbook covers the period March-June 1892. Most of the letters
are by Alfred O. Tate. There is also correspondence by Edison and Thomas
Maguire. Many of the letters relate to the phonograph and to legal and
financial dealings among the various phonograph companies. Beginning on
page 131 is a two-page letter from Edison to George E. Gouraud comparing
the phonograph business in the United States and Europe and alluding to
Edison’s takeover of the North American Phonograph Co. There are also
letters referring to the formation of the General Electric Co. and to Edison’s
sale of his stock in the Edison General Electric Co. Other documents deal with
mining and ore milling, electric motors, and the kinetoscope. There are
numerous letters to Edison’s attorney, Sherburne B. Eaton, and to the firm of
Dyer & Seely regarding patent interferences and other litigation in which
Edison was involved, as well as additional patent-related matters. Included also
are letters pertaining to the development of an underground telegraph cable
for the Pennsylvania Railroad and to the installation of a sprinkler system at
the West Orange laboratory. The front cover is marked "1892." The spine is
stamped "Letters" and is labeled "1892 Mar 9 June 16." The book contains
700 numbered pages and an index. Approximately 20 percent of the book has
been filmed. Related documents for this time period can be found in LB-053.

If it can be definitely stated whit the lowest point of economy is
for inotors of thig character, we Can of course produce a chédaper
machine than either of ‘hose upon which the bid of the Phonograph
Works is based. The mimber of Gaatinen upon waich we have been
requested to submit an est imate is not large. If the estimate :
were baged upon the actual continuous requirements of your Company, :
the figuvas could be reducede This, however, is a “actor which

the intuve will take care of. Assuming that the order for these
motors should be given to the Hdison Phonograph Works, I desire to :
have it understood that at any time your Company wish to do so they
can tuke over the rarni‘acture themselves by simply re imbur's ing the
Phovivarapl ioniarte. their outlay in special tools, which would of
gourse be available for use in your own shops. By thus permitting
the Phonoptagh Yorks to temporarily engage in the manufacture of
these motors, for your account, you would prevent the bud laine up
“of an outside antagonistic manufacturing Seinsenis The work would

at all eis be absolutely under your si control, and you would
avoid the disadvantage which -could not fail to result from the
endorsement thet would be given to motors bf rival manufacture by
placing them on sale through yor own organizations I am particu+
lavly desirous that the Phonograph Works should obtain this manus
facture. First, for reasons expressed ‘above’s Secondly, because
thoir equipment is exactly adapted to this particular class of
work} and thirdly, because owing to the inactive condition of the

Reply to your letter without date addressed to Mre

Raison has been unavoidably delayeds |

In ragard to the ase of tha phonograph as a means for curing
deafness, upon this subject Mre Edison has no information vhatever,
except that which he obtained from the newspaperse He has learned
from the source mentioned that certain members. of the medical pro+
fession have been experimenting with the phonograph in the di-
rection indicated, and from the reaultsa obtained, thet they ex«
pect to be able to cure certain forms bf deafness by its aid; Bit,
as previously intimated, he has no additional information conce m+
ing the mat tex emfirmatory or othemvises + -

The statement to the effect that Mrs Edison himself éxperi-
mented with the phonograph in an attempt to ours ‘his own abatness
ae untrue and has absolutely no foundation in fasts It may inter
est you to mow that Mr. Bdigson emsidars his deafness a plessiig
in disguise, and any reports tint may reath you of his trying to
improve hig senpe of heariltig yq may at once put down as penaraat

Letterbook, LB-057

This letterbook covers the period February-August 1893. Most of the
letters are by Alfred O. Tate. There is also correspondence by Edison and
Thomas Maguire. Many of the letters pertain to the business of the Edison
Manufacturing Co. and to its relations with the General Electric Co. There
is also correspondence dealing with the affairs of the various phonograph
companies. Other letters relate to the development of the kinetograph and
to Edison’s exhibit at the World Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Included
also are letters concerning mining and ore milling, batteries and meters, and
the phonoplex system. The front cover is marked "1893." The book contains
696 numbered pages and an index. Approximately 15 percent of the book has
been filmed. Related documents for this time period can be found in LB-053.

February 6+h,1803.

My deur Mr, Edison, ~

Referring to the letter which I wrote to you
25th instant, suggesting that the General Electrio Company had
delayed their order for meters on account of their contreet with
you not having been closed, and which you have returned to me,
indicating thet in your belief the suspension of this order was
occasioned because they are hard up, the Manufacturing Company has
received a letter from Mr. Haskins which confirms my suspicions to
a considerable extent. I will send you a copy of this letter
(Gladstone has it at present or I would enclose it herewith).
They reaffirm the order for the meters, but they state that in the
event of a certain contract now pending being closed between you
and themselves, these meters shall ‘be manufactured for them upon
the terms specified in this contract for the manufacture of certain
other dvives ~- that is at a profit of 20% of 30%, I do not ex~-
actly recollect which. Now this arrangement concerning manufactme
upon & percentage basia was made in view of the fact that you con-
templated constructing articles covered by patents belonging to
the Gen'l, Electric Co. We would, of course, be very glad _
undertake this work upon a percentage basis, but they have abso-
tutely no right to ask us to make. the same arrangement for devices ;

in no way controlled by them, and I have instructed the Manufactur~_

Letterbook, LB-058

This letterbook covers the period August 1893-March 1894. Most of the
correspondence is by Edison and Alfred O. Tate. Many of the letters deal
with the business of the Edison Manufacturing Co. There are also numerous
letters relating to the affairs of the Edison Phonograph Works and various
other phonograph companies. Other letters pertain to mining and ore milling,
the kinetograph, the mimeograph, electric traction systems, and the phonoplex
system. Some of the correspondence concerns Edison’s personal finances and
his relations with the General Electric Co. There are also letters to and about
members of Edison’s family. Beginning on page 576 is a list of officers and
directors of the Edison Electric Light Co. of Europe, the Automatic
Phonograph Exhibition Co., the Edison Phonograph Works, and the North
American Phonograph Co. The front cover is marked "1893." The book
contains 702 pages. There is no index. Approximately 10 percent of the
book has been filmed. Related documents for this time period can be found
in LB-053 and LB-059.

When you get the machine, Harry, one oP the very first things
you should do is to secure a vecord of "Phonograph's” bark.» The
individual who would take such a record to the Dog Show which is
held annually in New York and reproduce it there would make a
fortune. A protograph of the pup displayed kinetographioally
would enianse the effect. The dark of this -golossaly impudent-
diminutive queiruped is so melodiously meliifivous as to be worthy
of preservation for transmission to canine postdrity. Long may it

Lhot same yours there would be an aggrogate thickness of ore of
from 12 Le 18 inches. for sight or ten miles, Lhen the next

My dear sir:~
Reply to your letter of the 7th inst., addressed to
Mr. Edison, has been unavoidably delayed.

Concerning electric railways, Mr. Edison directs me to
inform you that so fer no method of electrical propulsion: has been
devised that is superior to the trolley system. Storage batter=
ies, in his opinion, are not yet commercial, and he thinks it will
be a long time before they are made so. ‘The trolley system can
be rendered unebjectionable if iron poles are used and placed on
each side, with the wire in the middle. |

The oity should not allow unsightly wooden poles.to be
erected or tolerate poor construction. By giving proper atten=
tion to these matters of detaz]. 2!1 the objectionable features of
the trolisy system can be eliminated. |

Letterbook, LB-059

This letterbook covers the periods October 1893-July 1894 and
December 1896-January 1898. There are also a few letters for September 1894-
April 1895 and for November-December 1895, as well as draft accounts for the
period April 1894-April 1896. Most of the correspondence is by Edison and
John F. Randolph. The letters for 1893-1894 deal primarily with Edison’s
finances, including the sale of stocks and bonds; the payment of money owed
to Edison; and the transfer of his Menlo Park property to his daughter,
Marion. There are occasional references to the impact of the ongoing
depression on Edison’s business operations. Included also are a few letters
relating to Edison’s work on the kinetograph and to the legal affairs of the
various phonograph companies. Appearing on pages 46-48 are letters by
Edison resigning his positions as president of the North American Phonograph
Co. and vice president of the Edison United Phonograph Co.

The correspondence for 1896-1898 deals primarily with Edison’s technical
work. There are numerous letters relating to Edison’s mining and ore milling
operations in Ogden, N.J. Other letters pertain to x-rays, lamp filaments,
electric meters, the phonograph, the kinetograph, and the phonoplex. There
is also correspondence about Edison’s stock holdings, his retainer from the
General Electric Co., his financial relations with his children, the proposed sale
of his Fort Myers property, and other financial matters. Some of the letters
relate to personal matters, such as the celebration of Edison’s fiftieth birthday
by the citizens of Port Huron, Michigan, and Edison’s involvement in the serial
publication of Edison’s Conquest of Mars, by Garrett P. Serviss.

The label on the front cover contains the following notation: "This letter
book is from October 30- 1893 to April 26- 1896 and from December 2- 1896
to- January 31- 1898." The spine is stamped "Letters" and is labeled "T.A.E.
Letters from October 30-1893 To January 31 1898 Inclusive." The book
contains 696 numbered pages and an index. Approximately 25 percent of the
book has been filmed. Related documents for this time period can be found
in LB-058 and LB-060 through LB-063.

Dear Sirte-
Your letter of 2nd instant, in regard to my ore
eoncantrating plant, was gauly received ang gontents noted,
In reply permit me to say that 7 have propiged Mr. Pilling, of
the fixm of Pilling & Crane, that he shal} g@21 our ore for the
present. Mr. Pilling has bean of great aia tome during the
past two years in obtainjng information and atherwiag aunpsting mo,
and I foel it my duty to stiok +p him ad dong ag ha satipfastorily .
disposes of our oOrée _
Thanking you for your letter

Your letter of 30th ultimo is received.
1 teve a Climax Boiler, ang it is giving great satiafadéthon.
Taking everything in consideration, it is, in my opinion, practtic-
elly and theoratically, the beyt boidsy BO far invented.

Youra trmnjy,

vo D, Ganpbel], Bsqe,

Philadelphia, Pa.

Your datter of Slat ult jmo, enclosing leasé etc. *.
m jiew danda, is at hand and fully noted. As we wil¥ net
wasds on tha property this year, and as it will take a year tu
put up such &@ plant as I contemplate building, it would orty
‘ leave vs sen years ag dravm in which to get back entire cost of

ye at isuking too close work. I have found from expertens:

shel «Oo ouke any sieeees in oro concentrating, particularly witn
present aow price of ore and with the progpect of free ore in
‘ Muinye, that it mst be done on a very Jarge scale, making 4
aie investment necassaryso J woulda ae a ask that to enahle
me oo kaye proper tims in whieh to get bacie the investment you
would ail a clange to the lease somewhat as Poljows:

* whe 2hpisanrion of the twelve years fron the date heregt,
if thie lease shall so long continue in force, and only in
anch avent, that party of the second part shall have the
option of ranewing it for ia further tarm of eight yerra from
Dacombor 4, 1996, at a minimum anmal rental for every year
Tron the jet day of December 1905, to the Ist day of December,
igiS, of Seveuty-Sive hundred dollars ($7,500.00), under all
whe condicions ag herein provided,"

I herewich return you the lease and agreements for corrsetion
OB ACOVE.

Yours very truly,

My dear Sirs

I duly received your letter of Nov. 20th, which was forward
ead to Menlo Park, and subsequently reached me here. TI heve been away
so much recertiy, hovever, thet my personal mail has necessarily been
negleated, I would very much like to aceent your yery kind invitation
to be with you at the commemoration of my birthday on February ilth next,
but my mining interests at ldison, N. d., ave just at a point thet they
require my personal ettention continuously. I cannot say at this rrit-
ing wasther I shall be in a position to take adventare of your kind
invitation or not, not oniy for the above reason, but also that impori-—
ant matters here, which must necessarily remain in aheyanne until I
return, will also tend to preclude my visiting you at thet time. There

is so much depending

> lly personal labors for the next few months to
come thet 1 doubt very mich whether I will be able to ze to Port Huron,
put if 12 is at all possible I will advise you in due time.

The compliment which you and the citizens of Port Huron intend
peying me, in chenging the name of Pine Grove Park to Edison Park, is
very highly esteemed indeed, and the fact that this Pavk vas formerly
my home makes tho compliment all tne more honored by me.

I very much regret thet I cannot say at this writing definitely

whether I can be present or not, but you oan rest assured thet if my

12/21/96.

it_@ greet pisasure and honor tea be with you io reat vourself and citi-

serne of Port linron and to at the same time rene seme os the old ac-

pances, aany of which heye now pasned somownet out of my recollec-

"2th dest wiches, and with the complinents of tie acason, believe

Yours vory truly, |

N. $. Boynton, Esq.,
. Mayor of Port Huron,
Port Huron, Mieého

My Bear Sirs-
Your letter of January 8th. is at hénd, together

with the clippings which you mention. I appreciate very highly
the compliment to be paid me by yourself anda the Citizens of
Port Huron on my comin: birthday. It is very doubtful now as
to whether I can go cut to Port Huron at this time, for the rea-
aon that the large sining plant at Edison, N. Jo, employing many
hundreds of men, will be started up at about that‘time, ana if
Z. ware t6 go out to Fort Huron: it would necessitate closing down
the plant entirely; as its operation ‘for some considerable ‘time
to come saqalced my personal attention, which cannot be déle--
gated © anybody. ;

, Regretting that I am compelled to forego a trip just at this
time to the eens of my early life, and again wishing you and the
Citizens of Port Huron every SUCCOES, and again thanking you for

the very kind invitation, in which Mrs. Raison also joins me, I

beg to remain, ote
: Very truly yours,

Set-

Dear Sir
My opinion is that it would be feasible to devise a printing system by the X
ray as you have described. But to make it commerical it will be necessary to

experiment for the production of a cheaper chemical than silver salts now
used.

Yours

April 17, 1897.

Editor,

Fhoenix Republican,

Phoenix, Ari.

Bear Sirs

kv attention has been called to a clipping that was out out

of your periodical, dated March a7, 1897, stating that Mr. Horace 2

abe

Mam has established an industry in Phoenix, having obtained the exelu-

sive right to the manufacture and sale of the Edison Gold Saving Machine

for placer mining in 01d Mexiec, New Mexico and Arizona. The clipping

aiso states that he has the agency for the Edison Quarts Will. I write

to say to you that I do not know ir. Hann, that he has no authority

to use my name in any way, has no exelusive rights whatever, and eny

Statements inade by him to the effect that he has a contract with me

for manufacturing or selling apparatus such as he refers to is avsolutely

false.

Will you Kindly do me the justice of inserting this letter in your

periodioal, so that the public will not be misled py purchasing any

apparatus of this kind under the assumption that it is an invention of

mine?

“Phanking you in advance, I an,

Yours very truly,

say that I have nade n

R. G. Salamon, Esq,
NoteL Metropole,
Loudon, Engiand.

iy dear Mr. Salamon:

I beg to acknowledge with thanks receipt of your
letter of the 9th. My people did contemplate taking kinetograph pictures
of the procession at the Queen's Jubilee, but the charges for prominent
Posiiions were so enormous that it wag given up. ‘The expense of making
the trip, ete.. would be very considerable indeed, and should the weather
be unfavorable of course the results would be a dire failure. However,
we may possioly arrange in some other way to obtain views, and in‘ that
event the photographs could be exhibited and shown througnout the world,
and I have no doubt would prove very interesting.

Please accept my thanks for the interest shown in the matter,

and believe me,

Yours very truly,

Ives

Dear Siri

I wish to protest through the Sun
The Meny arbielas appearing in the sensational Papers of
Séw York from time to time, purporting to be interviews with me

aboot vender?

ul inventions and discoveries madeor’ “to be made by
myself, scaresly a single one is authentic and the statements
parperting to be made by me are

the inventions of the reporter: -
the sublic are le@ from thas articles, to draw conclusions just
the opposite of tue facts, I have never made it a practice ta
work oon a:

ay line not purely practical ana useful, and I especially

dasire it to be known, if you will permit me, that I have nothing

do with an article advertised to appear 4n one of the papers
about Mars,

Yours very truly,

Letterbook, LB-061

This letterbook covers the period April 1894-August 1895. Most of the
letters are by Edison. There is also correspondence by William E. Gilmore and
John F. Randolph. Much of the correspondence relates to Edison’s
phonograph business. Included are numerous references to Edison’s strained
relations with the Edison United Phonograph Co. and with the North
American Phonograph Co., which went into receivership in August 1894. Some
of the letters deal with the kinetograph, the commercial introduction of the
kinetoscope, the production of motion pictures, and the publication of William
K. L. Dickson’s History of the Kinetoscope and Kinetograph. Other
correspondence relates to the Edison’s ore milling plant at Ogden, N.J.
Included also are letters pertaining to the management of Edison’s Menlo Park
property, the sale of stocks and bonds, and other financial matters. There are
occasional allusions to the impact of the ongoing depression on Edison’s ore
milling operations and other activities and to the mortgaging and closing of the
West Orange laboratory. Other letters refer to family matters, including the
health of Edison’s father, Samuel, and the finances of his daughter, Marion.
The spine is stamped "Letters." The book contains 699 numbered pages and
an index. Approximately 20 percent of the book has been filmed. Related
documents for this time period can be found in LB-059.

R. Ne Qyer, of the firm of Dyer & Sealy, yesterday, and Mr. Dyer
atated to him that if the North American Co. can arrange to fur- -
nigh him $200. per weak, he will carry along the litigation, and

At t1a pecuest of Mr, Edison, I eiclose you herewith

was rus@ived a Gay or tno since.

You will note that this item states that the Edison United
Phonograph Co. has lust its charter in the State of New Jersey,
due %o the fact of ite not having paid its taxes.

Mr. Edison thinks shat this is a mistake, and what was intended

’

was tha old kdison Phonograph Ca,

Wilt you kindiy enlighten Mr. EBdisor as to this matter at your

convenience,

Yours very truly,

I have to-day, handed Col. Gaorge BR. Gourauad,

& letter of introduction to you. He desires +o obtain some in-

formation az to the present standing of the North amavican Phono-

‘greph Co., but I could not, of course, give him what he wanted,
without first discussing the matter with you, 50 I thought proper
» in

to have him eea you peramaliy, and you ean then give him suc’:

formation as you see fit.

Th: lew an idva that ne can do something to the end of putting
the Company on ite faet, but what it is, I am not in a position fo
“Bays “Wailet i do not see that it will do sry harm to give hin
gome infoxtidn as to the condition af the North aeeiens company’,

siili I woulda advise you to be rather cautious in any atatement#

that you ma). make to him, and his Premises or statements sre rather
those of a pessimist than otherwise.

My dear Bush:- ie

My opinion is that matters with the North Amer-
ican Phonograph Co. have now reached @ very serious point. I find
that it is absolutely imoossible for Mr. Gilmore to conduct the
Phonograph Works any longer, without money, and'I am not in a pos-
ition to loan them any more money, so much so. that it has been
decided to ingist upon the North American Co's. paying cash Tor
everything that they obtain from the Phonograph Works before ehip.

ment i5 made. If the North Americgn Co. continues for six months

loager, I do not see that the Bond Holders will have anything left.
The representatives of the minority Bond Holders. fave visited me
anf they appeared very disiroua of shosing things up, and the
sooner this is done the wetter. %f the basinesa should Reet
of the old Edison Phonograph Go, I believe I can pay-off the Brndeg

and everything else, as we ‘shall simply work it absolutely on a

merchandising basia.

I have your favors.of the 14th and 17th, acimowl-
edging check for $6590, enclosed with mine of the lath, I note
that there seems to be a misunderstanding as between Gol, Gouraud
and myself, and for your information, I attach herewith copy of a.
letter received from Col, Gouraud, quoting various cables that.
have passed between.us, in which you will see that teva is nothing

. only ;
Said alLoit interest, which appears to be the sanz difference be-
tween 1g. However, I presune that yes will hear shortly irom
Col. Gourand reparding this matter. In the meantime, I outa re-
yest that you do not repay him any of the money until you have
received a joint letter fron us, as outlined in mine of the 12th.

Dear sir.

I have received the blank reports mailed me several

days ago, and have read same over oarefuliy. The Edison Phonograph

Company is a New Jersey Corporation, and hap not been doing any sag
“Y

active business for upwards of four years past. Under these cir.

cumstances: I presume that it will not be necassary for us to fill
a | os
' up the blanks which you send me.

The company has no office in
i New York state, and has not had one for some years past.

Yours very truly,

Dear Sir :- : ;
Your: favor of the 15th came duly to hand, and in reply

I beg to state that the trouble is that the Courts rejected my bid

end I did’not get any of the old stuff. This phonograph affair

has been a very bal one, and illustrates how speculators can ruin

a legitimate thing. I not only lost all that was paid, but a
large sum besides.

Yours very truly,

Dear Sir 3-

) I have your letter of the ist. Mr. Gilmore tells m
that the reason the Works hare not written you regardiing the.
machine that was returned as imperfect, has been due to the fact
that we desi ear have it very carefully looked into. This has

peen done and he will write you within a day or two fully.

I understand from Mr.Gilmore that your ie, Moriarty was
here last week and looked over this machine,and pully wderstmas
the situation. . | |

Regarding the interchangability of the parts: 1 would say
that they are as near. interchangeable as the ‘tools we have will
permit us to get them. Of waunes all so called interchangeable

parts of any machine or other apparatus have to be adjusted in

vilace.

Yours, very truly,

Letterbook, LB-062

This letterbook covers the period August 1895-December 1896. Most of
the letters are by Edison and John F. Randolph. There is also correspondence
by William E. Gilmore. Some of the correspondence relates to Edison’s
phonograph business and the operations of the National Phonograph Co.,
which was organized early in 1896. Other letters concern Edison’s ore milling
plant at Ogden, N.J. and the financial problems that led him to suspend
operations for much of 1896. Included also are letters pertaining to the
Llewellyn Park electrical system, Edison’s work on a new lamp filament, his
financial relations with the General Electric Co. and the Edison Illuminating
Co. of New York, and his views on the future of electricity. In addition, there
is material relating to the exhibition and sale of kinetoscopes, Edison’s x-ray
experiments and work on the fluoroscope, and the phonoplex system. Some
of the letters refer to Edison’s financial support of his daughter, Marion
Edison Oeser, and other family matters. Beginning on page 142 is a two-page
statement of Edison’s financial assets and liabilities, Beginning on page 342
is a five-page formula for manufacturing phonograph wax. The front cover is
marked "1895 189[6?]." The spine is stamped "Letters." The book contains
695 numbered pages and an index. Approximately 20 percent of the book has
been filmed.

and nesd the money. Gan you do anything towarda expediting the matter?
One Mx. Howell, at the Lamp Works, has been fit to make various halignant
inatmattons stout the saving. If there ever was a straight and legiti-~
mate srensaction this is ohe. I worked over & ‘year on the various devices
and they actually made the saving claimed, and a great deal more. After
many years they do not appear to have required much invention, because
they are se extremely simple, byt the amount they do pave sould be easily
ascertained by stopping their use. My oontract is based on atbitration,
and I am ready at any moment to submit this question to arbitrators.
Anything you ean do towards facilitating a speedy settiement will be .

Dear sir:- :

I have your favor of the Oth. I have delayed going over to
see vou regarding the proposed arrangement of handling the foreign Phono-
grap.. business, until we could seo our agents, and make certain inquiries
nivead. We nave gone over the proposed agreement,which you sent me sone
days ago, very carefully, and after due consideration, have reached the
conclusion that under the terms proposed by you, we could not work the
territory, and we cannot therefore see our wayto accepting the arrangement.

Wh ay peooie, having before me at the same time the proposed agreenent

pesple the temur under rhich you would permit the sale of Phonographs.

in your Serritors, enthusiasm which was at first displayed has entirely
subsides. Turthoriaere, since the interview whioh I held with your people
dn New York, we find anaH investigation, that the Graphophone people have
Degin and awa sontiruing to push the sale of the Graphophone, not only in
thin ommiry, out abroad, very briskly, and the latest types of machines
have not only the prinégipal suportant features of the Phonograph, but are
being sold io sgents ang dealers, I understand, at m the very low price of

$25.CO exch. In view of these facts, I do not see how it is possible for

us te mdertane tO seh2

mohines at a price that would mect this very
Setive cotipetition, and at the sane time pay you royalty of $20.00 on

e€eh anc every machine sold in your territory, together with a further

Nov. 25th, 1895.

~2—
T.S.

royalty upon all supplies thet would be required ih connection therevith.

ATticle 4, of this agreement also stipulates that we are to pay all
pateny fees , and in addition to protect all patents, by suits for in-
fisgowent and otherwise in all the territory controlled by you. It was
not soutemplated that this should pe done at the time of my interview, at
deact, I do not recolicct stipulating that .we should do so.

Article § sets forth the number of machines to be sold during the
first, second and cach sioseauent year thereafter, and I find that al-
though the parties with whom I-have been negotiating, fully expected to

make iurge sales, still when we come to inoorporate an absolute agreenent ,

on their part, to teke the immber of machines specified, they dissent from

having any mich figures incorporated in their agreement, as those men—
tioned by you in your proposed apreezent. ;
Article 8 is also very obnoxious to the people with whom I was he-
gotiating, as they would not, under any circumstances, permit the examin~
aiion of their books by anybody, even myself.
There are other stipulations in the proposed agreement that we could
not think of accepting, under any clroumatances, and the position which
.you assume, in connection with this matter is such as to absolutely pre-
vent us from making any satisfactory arrangement with our agents that wouk
prove mutually advantageous,

In endeavoring to take up and push actively the sale of Phonographs

Nov. 25th, 1895.

and suoplies therefore, throughout your térritory, our entire idea was to

make such crrangements as woulda tond to effect tne very largest sales of

Machines, our agents agreeing to take a minimum output per week,

output to be in

and this
ereased gradually to meet increased demands, which we hade

every good reason to believe vould be effectively produced after the first

six months, or after they had succeeding in arranging their sub-agencies

throughout your territory. They are doubtless still prepared to proceed

on about those lines, but refuse to permit an examination of their books,
whieh would neturally divulge names..of their customers, which is a thing
whioh they ald not at all contemplate would be expsoted of them,

In the case of the Kinotoscope business, we simply insisted upon
their taking a quentity of machines Per week, placing whth us a suffic-

dently large order to enable us to manufacture at the lowest possible

cost with a given output, but it was never contemplated that we would

Sxanine their books, or in any way interfere in their business, so ‘fer as

the sale of machines and supplies therefore were concerned. The large

business done in the Kinetosoope, and the Consequent profits realized:

‘therefrom reg the reason Which Brougne up the question of endeavoring to

make @ satisfadtory arrangement with you, whereby the Phonograph business

Could be taken up and handled onabout the same: lines. We have Sndenvor=

be acceptable to the Gempany, but the stipulations as set forth in the
proponed nercoment submitted by, you, are £0 onerous, and were objected
to 80 Stremously by our people, that it has practically resulted in an

entire abandonment on the part of our people, and the consequent decision

on our part that we could not ante satisfactory arrangements on the terms

and conditions propesed by your Company. Should any wie vatuine be
reached between us, it would have to be entirely on the understanding that
our agents end their sub-agents would not bé in any way hampered k in
selling machines, except, of course, that they would not attemt to enter

Dear sir:

I am in receipt of your letter of the e6th, enclosing letter

from London, addrensed to Mr. §. 7. Moriarty, py lr. Wm. Alexander Smith,

of the Edisor ~ Bell Phonogranh Corporation. Limited. I inmedi ately con-
municated with the Works, with the view to ascertaining whether ve have
filled any orders for the Chieago Talking Machine ness received through
the Receiver of the North American Phenoas enh Conpany.
that th

They advise ne
ney have only shipped to this concern one lot of material since the
aproeintment of the Receiver, in August, 1894, the partioular material
shipped to them, consisting of 6 shaving machine bodies and ather small
material, which went forward by express on July 26th, 1895. We have
shipped them no bodies, however. © In connection with this matter, I de-
‘sire to advise you that the Chicago .Talking Machine Company is nothing
more or less than the Western branch of the Craphophone Company . They
have been advertising Phonograph, Graphophones and supplies therefore
throughout this colintry, and I presume that they are also doing the same
in Furope, judging from this letter from Mr, Smith. Although I have no
absolute Knowledge, personally, I have been informed that the dhicago

Talking Machine Co. have been mMaking,or having made, in the west, Phono-~

gerapis, which they are offering at very low prices. These mohines are

not made Ly tho Works, nov have tho Works any knowledge of the manufactur-

erg, althcugh as soon as we ean obtain any definite information on the

gsuject, it is proposed to bring the sane to the attention of the Receiver

of tie Norta American Phonogravh Company, so that he oan at once arrange |

tO protael vic rithte.

In cunelnsion, I desire to say that the statement made in the first

paragrsrh of Mr. Smath's letter, as to my authoriging either the Chicago

Talking Waonine Co., or, "other American Institutions", to exploit my

Phonograyh avrcad, is not true, and the insimation is entirely uncalled

for, acd stuineiy absolutely not in accordance with the facts. I wish

thay Four woud see that Mr. smith is fully informed of my position in this

Matter. and essure him that the oireularizing, selling and exploitation

Ov Photoge.phs in his territory, if it is being done, in being done with-

G. N. Morison, Exq.,
Secretary Edison United Phonogragh 0o.,
Hills Building, N. Y,,

Dear Sir:-

I beg to acknowledge the receipt of you letter of the alist. inst,
a with rogerd to the forma for the making af wax for the sylinders, and
| enoiosing copies of letters by the Edison Bell Company and uy the Works

with vagard to the same matter.
h IT have peyaonadly
, 9

i shall be pleased to give you formula sha
4 used in the manufacture of wax to the English Company, 4? desi
although I should expect them to take the necessary preeattions ta keep
the composition a secret. As a matter of fact ft have not bothered myself
by the preparation of this wax for the last two years, be eels had ny
hands full of other business. The entire preparation of the wax compo-
sition was turned over to a.man who manufactures it for the Works, and
whatever improvements he has made therein aire entitely Hid on sdoret.

I ought further to’ state that I had considerable trouble with.
the vax that I manufactured, on account of ilts eritiness, &hd mos} likely
the Edison Bell Company would have oonsiderdible difmiduity and be ut a
considerable expense in making the necessary teste émd axperiments to
eliminate these bad qualities. Whatever improvement vier js in the mane
ufacture of thia wax I have had no hand in, but it ip dué entirely to the
man about whom I have spoken, and perhape the English cotiany might perfer
under the olroumstances to purchase the wax compositign, au mamifactured
vy this man, and make their own cylinders with the mathiher} and in accor-
dance with the information which the Manager of the Edison Phonograph
Yorks would cheerfully furnish them.

I make this suggestion merely besamse At peers to me to be the
quickest and siiplest way ont of the difficulty, although, ag J have said,
I an perfectly willing to reveal any knowledjze I may have on the subjeot.:

Yours very truly,
Rno. A. ; a .

as to whether the reorganization seheme will be & success Or not is
purely problematical. 1 have not been consulted in the matter ‘ant now
nothing whatever about it.

I know nothing whatever of the proposed reorganization of the Edison

Sonally,I have

Per~
no interest in it, having wiped out all of the interest
heretofore held. and I shall have ho part whatever in getting out any

Your favor of the lath is at hand, and in reply I woulda say
that if sou v2121 communicate with the National Phonograph Co., Orange,
Ne des You can obtein ull information regarding the Edison Phonograph,

they being the selling agents for same. If you will advise them as to
the minber of machines that you desire they can then Sive you prices.
Tne information you have received, that Phonographs are not petne puilt,
is entirely erroneous, ag they are being manufactured at the Edison
Phonograph Works ee along, and the Companies handling same would

Not of course sell them unless they were prepared to defend all suits

‘that might be prought by the Graphophone Co. or any othors,

Letterbook, LB-063

This letterbook covers the period January 1898-August 1899. Most of
the correspondence is by Edison and John F. Randolph. Many of the
documents relate to mining and ore milling. Included are letters concerning
Edison’s operations at Ogden, N.J. and the factors that led to the temporary
shut down of the plant during the winter of 1898-1899; his investment in a dry
placer mill near Santa Fe, New Mexico; and the organization of the Edison
Ore Milling Syndicate, Ltd. Some of the letters pertain to Edison’s work on
a compressed air reheater and the formation of the Edison-Saunders
Compressed Air Co. Other letters deal with his plans to manufacture
Portland cement and the organization of the Edison Portland Cement Co. In
addition, there is correspondence about electric meters, a process for using
coal dust as fuel for steam boilers, the phonograph, motion pictures, the
fluoroscope, and x-rays.

Included also are numerous letters about Edison’s personal finances and
the financial affairs of his children, Marion, Thomas, and William; proposed
business deals with Edison’s former associates, Josiah Reiff and Edward H.
Johnson; the management of his property at Fort Myers, Florida; and his
debts to Sigmund Bergmann and to the estate of Robert L. Cutting, Jr.
Appearing on page 145 is a letter to Samuel Insull about the origin of the
phrase "central stations."

The front cover is marked "1898 1899" and is labeled "Letters of
Thomas A. Edison. From. January 31st, 1898. To. August 29th, 1899." The
spine is stamped "Letters" and is labeled "T.A.E. Letters from Jan-31 1898 to
Aug 29 1899 2." The book contains 700 numbered pages and an index.
Approximately 20 percent of the book has been filmed.

Dear Sirs;

I am in receipt of your President's comnunication of the

noble one indeed, and I desire to express to your Association my appre-
ciation of the honor that you purpose conferring upon me in placing my
neme upon your roll as an "Honorary Member", and your request is fully
_pranted.

With best wishes for the success of the Exhibition, and with

= assurance of my kindest regards, belisve me,

Yours very truly,

Deb Shum Shere Jung,
General Commander-in-Chief of the Gurkha Forces,
Thapathali Durber, Nepal, India.
Dear Sir:

I have your letter of the 12th of April, together with the
copies of communications to which you refer. The two concerns in ques-
tion ere not my direct representatives, but simply dealors, burying and
paying Tor goods just the same as all other dealers.: I have no personal
interest in either of the concerns, but will say that so far as 1 know
they are entirely honest, and any orders that you place with them will

. doubtless be filled satisfactorily. I would suggost, however, that
should you require any additional materials manufactured by my djffer-~
ent poncernss if you will send them direct to me 1 will have them
filled satisfactorily. They are both quite good customers end in
competing for business they evidently go beyond ordinary business lines

and endeavor to throw odium on one another. 1 do not personally approya

of such methods, but of course have no control over then,
Seusting that the above explanation is entirely in order, and with

best wishes, believe me,

Yours very truly,

Dear Sir

My man reports as follows on the testing scheme presen-

ted to us,

Sources of Error in Air Reheater

Tasting Plant as ud.

vised by the TIngersoll-Sergeant Drill CO,

The pump must be run at a Pressure lower than that of

the receiver to obtain regulation of receiver pressure,

When the speed of the pump is increased by putting on

the heater

» the pressure on which the pump works, must be inereased

owing to the inertia of, vater

, friction in pipes, valves ate,

This increase will vary with the conditions, and may be quite tiigh,

Working under higher pressure, in this manner more air

Will be exhausted ner

‘ stroke and work will be done by the air

Which os ue’ evedited to it.

One of the advantages of reheating the air, is the t:-

creased expansion that can

be allowed in an engine without too

Breat chilling of the air, This can not be shown in a pump whero

there is no expansion,

My dear Adamse
I have your letter of the Sth, advibing mé that Mr.
#dward H. Harrimen is about to make a trip to Alegka and suggssting
that I send one of the new large type phonographs with an operator for

the purposa of taking records of the different trives of ind4ana Located

dn that far distant country. I very much regret my inabiitty to do

this time, as my Maneger informs me that we are sluply so
overcrouded with orders

anything at

for the new type phonogreph that it wtll not
be possible to get one out in time for this trip,

There is no doubt that from a Solentific standpoint these records

would be very useful indeed, Furthermore, in order to obtain Batis

factery resuits, it would be nevessary to send one of our best experts

the purpose and a special apparatus would have to be gotten out,
but the time 48 too short in which t

for

Oo make up same, and the apparatus
that is at present in use-is used continuously and could not be spared,

Regratting that I am unable to take advantage of your very kind

Dear Sirs~

On the furnace I purchased from you a short time ago, I have
the following to report-

After having had it under two heats, neither of which heated
the muffle hot enough, we find the back muffle Support has burned
off, The front muffle support is partly burned off. the front
plate of furnace cracked in two places, No protection to front vt
furnace plate above the fire door, so the plate heats red hot, The
rubbing plate and rubber both have too uneven surfaces for grind}-
ing fine, Plunger of cupel mould does not fit its ring. Scale
pans are of unequal weight.

We are unable to use the furnace, and our work will be serious-~
ly delayed, and we beg to ask that you take this matter up at once
$0 that we may go ahead with the work at the earliest possible
moment. We think you hat better send one of your men out +0 see
Just what is necessary to be done.

Yours very truly.

Dear Sir~

Replying to yours of the 10th, in which you state there 8eems

to be much interest on the part of the stock-holders as to the loca-

AW tion of our new plant, T beg to state the selection of a proper

location and geological formation is a matter that cannot be hur-

ried, Several serious mistakes have already been made hy the Lehigh

ony , Valley Cement Company ana we should try and take advantage of these
; ae mistakes, .

| ; We have to take into consideration the position as to Railroads,

ingress, contour of the formation, character of the cement rock,
character of the limestone, close prximity of limestone and cement
rock, pitch and trend of the rock, supply of water, character of
water, proximity to sources of labor and dwelling houses, and ather
minor considerations.

We have secured options to purchase, on the properties shown
on attached list, these options running from three months to one
year, We have one man obtaining options continuously, another man
Yunning boundaries and maping land and vicinity, and giving contours,
Vadiroads, water courses etc. We have also two mine foremen, each

tha gang of men sinking holes to bed rock on the verious optioned

Pyoperties, The rock is drilled, a blast is mate, and general

Mr, W.S5.P.No.8,

oe, t
: . samples sent each day to Laboratory. Positions of holes are marked

on map , and each sample is assayed for Silica, Iron Alumina ,

On Magnesia, Lime, etc, We have three chemists at work making these
ig assays, which are preliminary to diamond drilling to a greater
ah 7 4 depth, When we have eradicated all the worthless properties by

these preliminary tests, we shall then select the best, and drill
holes to a depth of 100 rt. at proper intervals over the properties,
ny assaying the samples or core every foot. Then with all the data
. N | , a and considerations already mentioned, we will select the property
we require, and perhaps enough for another mill, We have already
closed with the drill people for an apparatus which will be at
our service when required.

We shall not require the property for about 90 days, and we
think that period is sufficient to decide which are the best. In
the meantime we are pushing ahead rapidly with the general plans

of the plant.
Yours very truly.

The letters relate primarily to the business of the Edison-Bell company, of which Moriarty was managing
director, and the Edison United Phonograph Co., of which he was vice president. Included are letters

My Dear Mre Viliilendt-

On yesterday Mre Evans; General Manager of the North

Ans vLees Phonograch Company, showed me a telegram from Mr. MeCut~

sbeor at Indianapolis to the effect thet he had a contract with

vO, dated December, which the North American Phonograph Comp any

hed neither the power to disregard or

transfer and threatening to
fer :

tn foin them operating in Inde, unless the contract was carried out

by theme Mre Evans stated that you had mentioned no such contract

end thet he had no record of any correspondence with Mrs MoCutcheon

tu the files turned over to thom ana asked if I knew of any such

vuntraet; I toid him that I did not ana cabled you at once .to as~

ecettaine

I have received your cable message and have informed thom

as to its contentse

Tt seems that Mr. MeCutcheon went to them some Weeks

&ge end they gave him the option for Ind., in acéordanee with your

recommendation, it being understood that he was to Biye .then his

reply within a certain timee As they did not near from him, somo

days aftor the time was up, they wrote him cancelling the option.

It was in reply to this letter that he telegraphed as aboyes

They say that in their eonversation with him he made ho

metition of any contract. At the time when he should have notificda
them of his decision in the aeteen: he was here in New York and
geme into this office and wrote you the letter that I forwarded.
As I had no knowledge to the contrary I did not at that time quos-
tiouw his assumption that he had a contract With you.

Mrs Evana expresses the opinion that Mr. Mefutchedn is
taking advantage of your absence to bluff them and I am inelined to

think that he will not now get Indiana on any termse

In regerd to Lippencott‘’s payment, I called on him on
the lst preparec to deliver the stocks Mr. Lippencott stated that
ne Was unprepared to muke the payment’ and explained that he would
haye been ready to do so had it not deen for the fact that the man
with wiem he had expected +o place a large amount of the now Coth
pany's stock had happened to meet Mre E. H. Johnson and to remark
_to him that he was about to invest in the Phonograph enterpriss.
Johnaon said "They hav'nt got the Phonograph; I have it? This, of
course, coming Irom a man who has been closely associated with Mr.
E4tson ana occupying a prominent position at the head of one of Mr.
Ediso's companies, had the effect of spoiling Tippencott's etis
rangements in that direetion, temporarily at least, A "Herald?
reporter’ also heard the remark and was about to publish it. Dip-
peneott saw eatery’ and they succeeded in keeping the matter from
publication. Ile is now endeavoring to secure a satisfactory sa}-
tlement.s He tells me that he owns nine thousand of the twenty
thousand shares of the old Edison Speaking Phonograph Comp any , Joni
gon, Painter and Bergmann owning eleven thousand. He teils me

that if it had not been for this eciroumstance he would have been.
prepurad to mn ct his obligations as agreed and he would have met
hem any how, had he foreseen that anything of this kind would
oceurs

Yesterday was a holiday (habor Day) so nothing could be
done. I saw Mr. Lippencott this moming with the intention of
arranging the payment on the 25th as directed, but he, now thinks
he will be able to make the payment this weck; he will know dcfi-
nitely tomorrow. Tn case he is unable to arrenge the payment as
he thinks he will be able to do, he will seeure the payment of one
hund”ed thousand dollars on the 25th by collateral whith shell he
sutisfactory to me- I ansented to this proposition to delay the
matter another day, believing it would be more satisfactory td you
to have the payment made at once than to have it delayed as Was
proposed in Hr. Lippencott's cablo. TI have cabled you today and
will oable yon again if necessary and in any oventy, whon tha matter
is settlod.

There was no quorum at the special meeting of the Board

of Trustées of the ¢. I. R. T. Qo. ,called for this afternoon

Yours very truly,

My Dear Mre Gitldlacct.

Your letter written just before
shesk for S509 received this morning. i have not written you
vinee the 14th for the reason that I expected you would have

started home before this. As far as I know, matters are in just
she same shape as they were -then. I saw Mr. Lippeneott a few
hours sftor writing you. It seems that Mre Edison learned of
your arrangement in regard to the sale of the stock and sent Mr.
Lippencatt a letter, whith he read to me,

to the effect that Edison
hed learned that you and his attorney, Tomlinson, who had conducted
the negotiations for the sale of the Phonograph, had exequted per-

sonal gontracts with lippencott; that he had been deeeived in re~-
rard to the terms, and stating that Lippencott would be held re-
epensabhe for any further payments of money that might be made to
you on account of sueh personal contracts, and reauesting that
fippencott comply with the 4eeus= es letter and thus avoig Viti-
gation. Mro Lippenaoott stated that he was not prepared to say
that he would not carry oub kis contract but that he was anxious to
avold having to pay the amownt twice and must eefer aetion in the
wetter until he had consulted his attorney. T saw him again lest
Vednesday and agein this morning and he is stillawaiting his at-
torney's adviee in the matter. He informs: me that Mr. Edison —
claims that your con raet with the Phonograph Company was a per-
mond contraet, which you had no Tight to transfer without the cone-
font af the Phonegraph Company ana it is on that ground that he
notifies Lippencott not to make further payments.

Until yesterday, waen I went to see Mr. Toppan in re~
rard to your message, I have not Spoken to anybody on the subject
tnd have no information as_to the steps that Mr. Edison may be
takings I know that Mr. Insuil has been in tom and in charge
of the matter, Mro Tate having been absent in Canada when the
thing first’ came uppand I think that Hr. Edwin M.
acting as Mr. Edison's legal adviser.

Mr. Toppan says that he does not know whether or not ;
the Ne Ae P. Company have made Mr. Edison's payment and that if he
Were to ask Mr. Edison the question direct it would at once be ap~
Parent that his question was asked for a purpose and it would not
b@ answered; he says that he was to have received some money when
the payment was made which he has not received. In his position as

if you quote price and give me authority to sell, I will m ke the
necessery preliminary arrangements and you can axequte the proper
papers when you return.

IT have made all the.arrangements for having her hauled
out at Lenox$.on Thussday and will do so unless she is sold in the
meantime o Everything at the house is in good shape.

I am now expecting to hear f an yon at anY moment that
you have sailed and think it very likely hat you will not receive
this letter. If, however, your plans should be changed and you
are likely to remain longer than the middle of Oct., I wish. to
write you in reg: rd to my posi¥ion with the Insurence Association,
as I must decide concerning it about that date.

I have papers from Gaston & Marsh which say that their
Fhonsireph Exhibition; on Thursday last was a great sucatss,

Will continue to keep you fully advised by cable and ,
mail as to what is going on, in‘case you do not return.

Yours very truly, #4 :

At about the time I had an interview with Col. Gourand
in fontion, relative to Mimeogreph affairs and Was about : write
you, I was taken sick and have been unable to attend to business
until quite recently. As I intend going to Chicago the latter part
vot Neeember or first of January, I will not attempt to go into the
mather at this time but will then give you all the points that I

have concerning the matter referred to, when I can see you ani ,
talk with you personally. I will say, however, that T do not think
you ean ever get a proposition from Col. Gouraud that you would be
wiliing to accept. ‘Whe schemes which he proposes are altogether

too one sided in his interest and practically amount to your
gcanding all of the expense if it is a failure and he getting all

Stephen F. Moriarty Letterbook, LM-023

This letterbook covers the period February 1898-October 1901. Most of
the letters are by Moriarty’s private secretary, G. Brossa, writing on behalf of
Moriarty and the Edison-Bell Consolidated Phonograph Co., Ltd. The letters
relate primarily to the business of the Edison-Bell company, of which Moriarty
was managing director, and the Edison United Phonograph Co., of which he
was vice president. Included are letters regarding the establishment of sales
agencies in the United Kingdom, the reorganization of the Edison-Bell
company, company finances, and travel arrangements. Also included is
Moriarty’s personal correspondence. The spine is stamped "Letter Book." The
book contains 498 numbered pages and an index (not filmed). Pages 320-498
are blank. Only eleven letters have been filmed.
